Thanks Alex!
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but you can:
1)
	tab variable, missing
and missing observations will appear in tables, or
2) 	recode variable .=0
This is not really what I mean. I look for a solution that is independend of missing values.

Assume that there are no missing values and all observations are distributed in categories "medium" or "small" (see example below): How can I get a row for "large" with Zeros as output?

Why do I need it?: To automate the programming of graphs and table-ready data files (by using matrices).

Thank you again,

Andreas



Best wishes,
Alex

Dear Statalisters,

Maybe you can help me regarding a problem with the "tabulate" command:

If the cells in a row or column are empty, they disappear in the stata
output (as well as in the saved results).

But I would like to get zeros in.

For example-my wish is a table like that:
			Items
large		0
medium		5
small		10

But actually the output appears as:
			Items
medium		5
small		10

Do you  have any ideas to solve that problem?

Thanks!
Andreas
